[quote mstudio]Who cares about the Macs, tell me more about that desk and floor lamp!
From the flickr page linked above -
Found this desk at Salvation Army the other evening - quite the deal, too. There was no price marked on it, so we asked the manager. She took quite a while to get over to the furniture area, but when she arrived, she apologized and said,
"How does $37 less 25% sound? It'd be $50 normally, but since it took me so long to get over here..."
Needless to say, it came home with us. Looks to be possibly an old teacher's desk of some sort? I say that based on the 'institutional sea-green' color contact/liner paper at the bottom of the drawers. Not sure if it'll get refinished, just cleaned up, or what, exactly. Couldn't find any labels or marks from manufacture, so not sure of model/make. Anyone?
And the story of the lamp:
Lamp I saved from a friend's apartment in Montreal after she was moving out in University and just going to leave it on the curb. Lugged it to my place across town, then to Iowa and currently up to Alaska.
